You ask me sadly why l can not love YOU;

For brave you are, and strong, and wise, and
And true to me;
And good to look upon as mar or lover

II could picture out my souls ideal,
Such grace 'twould show.
What fate, then, writes this hard, strange word
between US,
This hopeless No!

Why fresh young shoots
Are slain by frost; and slow decay may cankef
The years best fruits.
Why lowers are left athirst, in scorching sum.

Why reckless winds springs promise-buds down
On field and plain!

Can we this riddle ~read-that hearts dear

Heart must deny!

Tn0 OOOO woman Tells How Her Husband
Bore h Pains Of Toothsche.
I was telling you awhile ago Of Mr..
Bowser's Impotence and annoyance
when he happened to find me in bed
for a couple Of hours with sick head
ache, and how he went u pieces HIM
self the moment any thing allied him.
About q month ago / woke up one
morning with the toothache. It had
been annoying me for an hour before
Mr.. Bowser caught on. Then he said:
"Toothache, ehP Well, I don't pity
you q bit. This comes from cracking
walnuts in your teeth and chewing %
much of that everlasting gum"
II never cracked a walnut, and !
don't chew gum once u year."
"Well, it'ssome carelessness of yours,
rest assured Of that, and you must suf-
fer for it."
He went of whistling and singing
and l went to bed to suffer.
That tooth ached for three days and
three nights in spite Of all remedies.
During the day Mr.. Bowser would re.
mark:
"Aches yet. does it, I believe you
are pretending a great deal, 50 as To
get my sympathy. II you'd get up end
60 around and throw off the idea that
your tooth ached the pain would all 70
away. Four.ffths Of the human aches
come from imagination"
"But It does ache 10 bad"
THAT Is, you imagine 1t does. !

was Of, and I have no doubt that !
should suffer awful pains. Well, /
can't do any thing for you. II you win
lot your Imagination run away with
your sense I can't help It"
The ache hung on 20 long that /
dnally went to the dentist and Ind ia
tooth pulled. This was unbekuown y
Nj. Bowser. and when he came homo
that evening and found me singing q
the baby he laughed long and loud and

EXTINCT TRADES.
Skillful Mechanics Of Other Days Who

Skillful Mechanics OF other DAYS VINO
Would Find No Work To-day.
An extinct occupation, once almost
as common as that of the blacksmith.
is that Of the brazier. Brass-workers
there are. to be sure, but they no
longer work with the simple tools used
BY the old-time brazier, who with his
hammer and anvil, fashioned kettles,
pots, pans, candlesticks, and other
household utensils. Brass isone of the
most useful metal compounds, and has
been employed in the mechanic arts al
most from the dawn Of history. 1t is an
alloy of copper and zinc combined in
the proportion of seventy or eighty per
cent. of the former and twenty OF
thirty of the latter. 1t was first OBJ
tanned by the ancients from cadmia or
calomine, an ore containing copper
and sometimes found in the same mines
with zinc. These two ores being
melted together produced brass, or il
a certain amount of tin were present,
bronze. Most of the arms and in.
struments found in Herculaneum and
Pompeii were made of brass. Homer
and other ancient writers refer to it SC
frequently that, beyond question, il
must have been extensively used.
mot worth a tinker's curse" is q
common expression, signifying utterly
worthless. The travelling tinker was
once as numerous as the peripatetic
book agent nowis. He was lack of all
trades" and good at the most Of them.
If he was Industrious and did moi
squander his earnings in drink his
trade was not to be despised. Many a
farmers household watched for his
coming and gladly welcomed him. He
could mend a clock, mend tin and
earthen dishes, and fix almost any
thing that was out of order. The
saying'quoted probably means that an
article so poor that a tinker would con.
denim it is past all hope Of usefulness.
There was a time, and not very long
ago either, when such articles as combs.
brushes, hats, carpets, tin plates, pins,
needles, and hundreds of other things
that are now turned out with almost
inconceivable rapidity by the aid Of
steam-driven~machinery, were all made
by hand in a most labnrious manner.
In those days the word matchmaker
meant a maker and not a repairer Of
watches; the gunsmith was a maker Of
guns, and so on.
The art of making pins Of brass was
aot known in England until the middle
Of the sixteenth century; prior to that
time pins were made of bone, ivory OF
some other similar material. Former
ly a pin passed through the hands of
twenty-five or more workmen before II
was ready for sale; now a machine
takes the wire and makes them by
hundreds of thousands, doing every
thing, eve to sticking the pins on pa.
per.
In q Book OF Trades" published
early in this century, an illustration
represents the "calico printer at work
with a block and mallet, stamping the
figures upon the cloth in that manner
Now, his occupation is like Othello's,
Calico takes its name from o province
of India, whence this cloth was brought
to English markets in 1851. Its manu-
f~acture was begun in England in l77S.

Strikers Attack and Beat Innocent
Workmen in Their Blind Rage.
CLEVELAND, June 14-The strike on the
ore docks of the New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio railroad eliminated in a riot this
afternoon. About month ago the men
who load the ore into the cars at the docks
struck for Sc day, an advance of 25c.
Since then their places have been filed by
colored men from the South and foreigners
brought here from Chicago. For the past
fortnight these wOrkmen have been given
police protection as the strikers, who are
Irish. have threatened 10 drive them out.
This afternoon George Vactor, a colored
porter at the Central depot, took Supt.
O'Biien, of the New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio road, his dinner to the docks.
The strikers, who had congregated attacked
him, and knocking him down beat him
terribly, and would have killed him
had they not been driven away by the
police. At the same time John Manyon

But Sturdy Watchmen, Armed to the
Teeth, Watch 1t Day and Night.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-The count of the
cash in the United States Treasury, which
is now in progress, has developed the fact
that the vault capacity is entirely made
ouate for the safe handling of the silver.
The silver vault was filed to its utmost ca
pacity some time ago, and there still re-
NAMED about 5000, 900 standard dollars,
which for want of better place were piled
in bags in passageway leading to the
vault. In taking count these bags had to be
removed to an outside hall, where they now
remain, protected from outside interference
by nothing but a pine board partition. 1t,
therefore, has to be guarded at all times
by the watchmen employed in the building,
who are armed with revolvers dur
ing the day and with repeating
rifles during the night. Every precaution
has been taken to prevent its being tam
pered with while in its present condition.
The count will last five weeks more and the
silver cannot be returned to the vault room
until that is completed. In the meantime
the work is being pushed on the new silver
vault authorized by the last Congress. Ii
will have a storage capacity for lO0,OOO,OOO
standard dollars and will probably be ready
for use in September.
